We break close to even in the middle and bring a manic pressure tackling game and we can win.

Get torched in the middle and don’t apply the pressure and we are ****ed.
I would think our forward line is pretty good but Fog out hurts.

Interested to see Gollant play.

Feeling pretty pessimistic about today's game so I'll just post here and won't read anything. But I'll go and lurk in the optimist thread so I can read something that makes me feel better. Whoever came up with the idea for two threads is onto something!

Reckon we have the better forward line if Tex fires, but we lack class in delivery to it. If only we’d thought to recruit an elite kicking midfielder/wingman. Anyway, I think their mids will torch us for quality differential and make their forwards look a lot better than they are.

Whilst I think we can win, my prediction is a very competitive game ending in a 3-4 goal loss.

Dawson on the wing would be handy
 
Seriously if Port have like +40 marks again this match I’m going to deposit my head through a wall, like how has Nicks never figured this out from the last 4 times he’s been beaten by Ken?

Interesting.

We have not scored more than 9 goals - was that the Ben Hart forward line?

Is this discrepancy a function of structure/game plan?

ie are we playing a zone defence and Port move the ball freely at times or are we getting caught on turnovers?

our contested marking looks to be hot and cold - and that could be workrate also

I noticed against Richmond we gave control over to a fast running Richmond and once we stopped the turnovers in the 3rd we played better.

Would it be half Ben half Rahilly. I know Hart coached the covid season but can’t recall if he was dumped for 2021 or not.

I cant even see when they were from without chasing them myself. We won last year so there is a few years info there

It’s both on turnover and the spread from contest, Port always seem to have so many uncontested players just sitting on the wings and at half forward post contest but the mark numbers for their much discussed ‘shaky’ defence goes through the roof. Burton and McKenzie usually have career days for marks so their absence is a positive, with them out it’s about avoiding Alir, you’d almost play whoever he goes to as a decoy forward just to purely avoid him.

Top left is 2020 so Hart, the other 3 are under Rahilly.
 
Why are there two Game Day threads?
In this thread you are allowed to abuse our players for a miskick but in the other thread you must say oh bad luck chap get up and try again
